All Levels Yoga Class Sundays
Sundays, 7:00 – 8:30am, in the Redwood Room
Begin your day with an integrated practice designed to cultivate clarity, steadiness, and ease. This 90-minute class, led by SunRay Bates, opens with 45 minutes of pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation; the second half transitions into an asana (postures) practice. Class concludes with a restful savasana (corpse pose) accompanied by soothing sounds and mantra (sacred chanting), offering a gentle opportunity to absorb the practice and carry a sense of peace into the day.
